Salt-Water Moon

On a cool summer night in the quiet town of Coley's Point, Newfoundland, headstrong, fiery Mary Snow receives an unexpected visit from a ghost of her past. The wily, devilish Jacob Mercer has returned from his latest stint up on the mainland to collect what he left behind--Mary. But time cannot heal all wounds and Mary is not prepared to throw the life she has built away for the sake of indulging some old flame. Can Jacob win back his long-lost love, or have the hands of time taken charge and changed their fate forever?

Salt-Water Moon is the first installment of David French's 'Mercer Plays'. It is a touching, witty window into the lives of two ordinary Newfoundlanders making the best out of extraordinary circumstances. French's poetic dialogue coupled with his innate understanding of the complexities of love and duty have helped establish Salt-Water Moon as one of the best written and highly revered pieces of contemporary Canadian theatre.
